MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

Vinfen offers a wide range of person-centered, innovative services designed to help people with psychiatric conditions regain their health and live and work successfully in the community. We build on each person’s strengths to improve his or her abilities to succeed and recover.

We know that with the right support, people with psychiatric conditions can and do attain emotional and physical wellness, achieve meaningful life goals, and are productive and valued members of their community.

Our focus on rehabilitation helps people develop skills and acquire the resources they need. We partner with each person to identify and set goals that are important to him or her, while providing encouragement and instilling hope. Vinfen adopted and received national recognition for a psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery model in the early 1990’s, ahead of most of the field. In the past decade, Vinfen has collaborated with colleagues leading the national agenda to find innovative solutions to help individuals with serious mental illness and major health problems.

We help people get back their lives by helping them make friends, strengthen family connections, find jobs, or pursue education, while learning to manage their conditions. We also partner with families to give them the resources they need to advocate and support their family member effectively throughout their recovery.

Our highly-trained and dedicated staff work together with more than 3,500 people with psychiatric conditions in 100 service settings located throughout Massachusetts. We provide specialized services to adolescents and young adults, and people struggling with substance misuse and/or homelessness.

Vinfen’s Clubhouses empower people by providing them with a community that is focused on respect and encourages individual choice and contribution. Clubs offer supports and services by combining employment, housing, and education services with social activities, life skills, wellness initiatives, arts-based rehabilitation, and advocacy.
